>>3020053what mower do you use?lawnmowing is easy and relaxing if you have a decent self-propelled mower.if you're getting fed up doing it for 8 hours a day, get some other gardening skills, like hedgecutting, planting and maintenance etc.gardening is a great career if you are good at it.at least in Europe.but i get the impression in the US it's not very highly regarded and most 'gardeners' are just un-skilled labourers.

>>3020028I have a lawn that's mostly wild flowers, herbs, moss and nearly no grass. It's about 3 to 10cm high except for a few single flowers that are higher and hasn't been mowed at all yet this year. It's not necessary to mow it more than 4 times a year since nearly all of the weeds stay short.You just have to remember not to leave cut grass/weeds on the lawn so it won't get much fertilizer.

>space for herbs and even some wild strawberries>pretty flowers and bees all years long>still a good place to put a pool or tables for a party without lasting damage to plants>birds can forage little insects and seeds>doesn't need much waterCan recommend.

Of course you could also only cut it once or twice a year if you don't need the space and put out some taller wildflowers.

>>3019987I've let some of my lawn overgrow, resulting in some really nice meadow grass. Lots of flowers have grown in it, which is good for insects. When I mow the rest of my lawn, I try to keep it fairly tall. Short, uniform grass is just ugly and boring.>>3020169t. boomer

>>3020050>years of litigation and fines because you built something ugly on your property and resistance can potentially lead to being forced into a cement cage with potentially deranged and violent peoplesigh

>>3022937Sued for what? Putting non-permanent non-dangerous stuff on your own place?If it's no problem on rented property in a land of the not so free I bet it's even less a problem on your own land in the US. The worst thing that'll happen is that you'll get bullied for a 'messy' lawn.

>>3024774>If it's no problem on rented property in a land of the not so free I bet it's even less a problem on your own land in the USPretty much any municipality is going to have zoning restrictions on what you can have in your front yard, which can include how tall you can let your grass grow. In subdivisions, you are likely to be further bound and restricted by covenants specific to the subdivision. That's why you see some states passing laws allowing people to have veggie gardens in front yards.
